Life originated in water before land, but did flying creatures come before land creatures?

Question

Life originated in the oceans before it did on land, but did flying creatures exist befor any land was habitable?
Like did birds come before dynosaures?
Before land existed the sky was habitable, so did flying creatures evolve into land ones as did sea creatures that were able to crawl out into the land?

Answer 1

--HAVE YOU NOT heard that factual sciences, not the pseudo-science of evolution is leaning severly toward creation AND the creation account in Genesis:



*** ct chap. 6 pp. 101-102 An Ancient Creation Record—Can You Trust It? ***



For example, noted geologist Wallace Pratt commented: “If I as a geologist were called upon to explain briefly our modern ideas of the origin of the earth and the development of life on it to a simple, pastoral people, such as the tribes to whom the Book of Genesis was addressed, I could hardly do better than follow rather closely much of the language of the first chapter of Genesis.” He also observed that the order as described in Genesis for the origin of the oceans and the emergence of land, as well as for the appearance of marine life, birds, and mammals, is in essence the sequence of the principal divisions of geologic time."



*** g04 6/22 p. 8 Why Some Scientists Believe in God ***



. Donald E. Chittick, a physical chemist who earned a doctorate degree at Oregon State University, comments: “A direct look at the fossil record would lead one to conclude that animals reproduced after their kind as Genesis states. They did not change from one kind into another. The evidence now, as in Darwin’s day, is in agreement with the Genesis record of direct creation. Animals and plants continue to reproduce after their kind. In fact, the conflict between paleontology (study of fossils) and Darwinism is so strong that some scientists are beginning to believe that the in-between forms will never be found.”



*** Lmn p. 9 “Look! I Am Making All Things New” ***



One of the pioneers in the field of electricity, the well-known British physicist Lord Kelvin, declared: “I believe the more thoroughly science is studied the further does it take us from anything compared to atheism.” The European-born scientist Albert Einstein, though reputed to be an atheist, confessed: “It is enough for me to . . . reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe, which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifest in nature.” The American scientist and Nobel prize winner Arthur Holly Compton said: “An orderly unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered—‘In the beginning God.’” He was quoting the opening words of the Bible.



--YOU WILL NOT find any updated reference for anything better than the Genesis account! These quotes are indeed just the tip of the iceberg!

Answer 2

According to Evolution theory of Life from non-life, land creatures were first. Then ho flying animals came about was that there was a genetic mutation that formed flabby arms for an animal and this didn't harm it so this trait was past and through mutations and several generations created wings and it benefitted the creature so it stayed in the gene pool. Flying creatures evolved from land creatures according to the theory of evolution. The first life is thought to be prokaryotic and lived close to the sea or in the sea. These organisms supposedly evolved into multicellular organisms. You first have to get out of the water before you can fly and that means you have to get on land. For a little singe celled organism, wings are impossible but a flagella is not.

Answer 3

Evolutionist also told us that a bear swam around in the water for so long it turned into a whale. Then they decided it was a dog. Now they decided it was something related to a dog but they don't know what it was for sure. So the sea critters crawled out of the water then back into the water? Guess birds can turn to land critters then back into birds, but might take some more of that evolutionary fairy dust.

A third grader can point out the difference between a land critter and a flying critter, why can't educated scientists do the same? How did all the transitional forms survive? Why can't we find any? No matter which direction it evolved, at some point it has to be half avian and half land critter, how can it survive? Can't fly and can't live on land and has to wait a few more million years to do one or the other.

Answer 4

Possibly in the seas, or a puddle of mud. But you've asked too many questions I'm sorry to say. You need to study up on evolution. The reason an animal became an amphibian and then a dry land animal is because by reaching out of the water it was better able to find food new food and compete with other life forms. It did that by reaching out onto dry land for food. The change occurred over a very long period of time. Perhaps a fish was able to jump out of the water momentarily to get food out of the water. It gained more and more capacity to remain out of the water for longer periods of time. Laying eggs is not more advanced. It remains in nature because not all animals are equally advanced. There are still primitive life forms. Humans are among the most evolved if not number one.

Answer 5

Birds have evolved from reptiles, many scientists now believe that they evolved from the Dinosaur line of reptiles. However, flying insects very likely existed before land animals. It's hard to be sure, because insects that spent their entire lives on the water or in the air are not likely to show up in the fossil record.

Answer 6

No - when animals first left the sea it was as cold blooded land creatures. Flying creatures evolved later - birds are warm blooded (they need a fast, warm blooded metabolism to provide energy to fly) and all warm bloods evolved on land. Also a bird's feathers are evolved from lizard scales.

Answer 7

Birds supposedly came from dinosaurs. But the flying insects? I doubt sea, land, air creatures could be linearly explained. We're talking millions of years here.

Answer 8

I'm really not sure, and I don't claim to know.



I would guess that flying creatures originated from land creatures as the need to take shelter in the trees arose.

Answer 9

Its hard to believe that people believe that the origin of life was spontaneous. It's like say that a computer made itself through time. If we humans are the most complex things on this planet, then i guess evolutionary biologist believe that a computer could build itself.
